Does MM Affect The Eyes?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question ๐Ÿ’ญ
Santa Ana, CA

I am having recurrent Post Vitreous Detached of the Retina. I get flashing in my eyes. The Retina Specialist thinks it is from my past high corticosteroid use. I really donโ€™t want to go blind.

Thank you Allโค๏ธ for your replies to my question. I have SMM so I am not on chemotherapy, but what you are telling me is that my eyes will get worse with treatment! Eek! Lol. I saw the Retina Specialist yesterday, and itโ€™s much more mild than the last time. My pressure is just under the maximum, and there are no tears on the retina. With this issue, the fluid drops so before I saw him, I started taking Cod liver oil and Lutein. It worked! I need to keep taking it.

I had cataracts from the use of Dexamethasone. After surgery I now have new lenses and all is well. For the time being

Hey there! Praying that symptoms decrease, that the pressure remains stable and decreases, that you NEVER need chemotherapy, and that the anxiety transitions to hope - complete healing, IN HIS NAME! Amen.

I certainly hope your eye condition continues to improve. That's patently unfair to develop in response to other conditions.
